Spreading good news and happiness & positivity became the DNA of our brand. We do this because Smiley is an antidote to the relentless stream of bad news and a simple reminder that in the end, everything will be ok.
While Smileys helped revolutionise technology and instigated a new digital trend that now sees billions of them sent every day, their legacy was a new lifestyle brand made up entirely of thousands of expressive emotions, SmileyWorld.
